my Bachelors in Biochemistry Masters in Chemistry and Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine Go Quakers Upon my return home to Southern California I received advanced training at an intensive Small Animal Medicine and Surgery Internship at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital I joined dtlavets after working in Los Angeles for many years and here I ve found colleagues who share my practice philosophy and standard of excellence My outside interests include great music browsing for vinyl at The Last Bookstore concerts at The Regent great food farmers markets crafting complex soups from scratch and great experiences exploring our city the rare but coveted international travel I am dedicated to providing outstanding comprehensive and compassionate veterinary care in this wonderful neighborhood that we call DTLA and I call home ph 213 613 1537 f 213 613 1621 333 south spring street los angeles ca 90013 M Tu Wed Th F 9am-6pm Sat 8am-5pm Read More...
